Team25 Unpacked
Details
Our next event will be unlike any that we’ve had before.
Our next event will be unique - it’ll be loosely modeled on the ‘Lean Coffee’ format. There was a lot that occurred at Team25 and even those that attended will not have seen or recalled everything. And if like me you did not attend, this will be a great way to digest a number of the announcements and takeaways in a fun and engaging and time-efficient way.
What is the Lean Coffee format?
Basically, ‘Lean Coffee’ is a lightly structured agenda-less meeting. Originally developed about 15 years ago for people meeting at a coffee shop to discuss a range of topics, they found a way to use ‘lean’ or agile’ techniques to do so…and thus Lean Coffee was born.
As mentioned, our event will be loosely modeled on this concept. Everyone who attends will get to submit topics, vote on them and decide how much time to spend on chosen topics.
This approach helps in several ways…
-
No one has to prepare a presentation.
-
Attendees will have a more engaging experience e.g. they don’t need to sit and watch a Powerpoint-led talk.
Ultimately the flow of the meeting is democratically generated by the attendees - in this case some of whom attended Team25 and others who are just interested in the topics under discussion. Any participant can also ask questions while participating in the ongoing discussion. Everyone who wishes to can actively participate via speaking and all will benefit by listening! We will use a facilitator to make sure the conversation flows smoothly.
It should be a blast.
We look forward to seeing how this format works for us. And if you like the tool and want to try it in your organization, just ask about it (it was originally developed several years ago as a side project at our host, Sketch Development).
So whether you went to Team25 or are just Team25-curious - and ultimately Atlassian-curious, because Team25 announcements will affect a wide range of Atlassian products and users - this should be a worthwhile experience for all.
And of course we will have good food and drink and you’ll get a chance to connect with other attendees in our Community i.e. other customers, partners and local Atlassians.
Finally, we hope to be able to share some Team25 swag AND you can learn about something special we are planning for August.

Hosted By
Tom Crespi, Atlassian User Group Leader
Tom's academic background is in the biological sciences. His undergrad experiences included research and that interest in learning and discovery carried into early career experiences in quality improvement for companies including Chevron, Monsanto and Bayer (American Society for Quality-sponsored certifications include Certified Quality Engineer) .
Organizational change management became a passion since 2000. The realization that employee engagement was a powerful factor involved in successful change led to his interest to explore, recommend and eventually to deploy a succession of collaboration tools over the past 20 years. These tools were utilized in the change management practice he led for almost 20 years at Graybar (Fortune 500 distributor).
He has spoken publicly about the value of collaboration applications in organizations, spent a few years on a popular application's Product Advisory Board, and has certifications that attests to his knowledge and understanding of how to use and deploy them.
